Someone once told Dorie Greenspan that a daily dose of these cookies would "ensure planetary peace and happiness." It seems we are running a little short of those two things right about now, and such sweet treats as these ought to come in handy.
A quick glance over the ingredient list told me that the chocolatey cookies had no eggs, which at my house means unlimited access to the cookie dough. I felt the warmth of fraternity and good will starting to spread already.
The cookies come together in a snap, just one bowl, if you cheat with the dry ingredients like I always do. (Trust me, World Peace is easier to come by when there are less dishes to wash.) The only thorn in the rose is that the dough must be chilled for at least three hours. I usually fudge a little there too, but since I was aiming for global harmony and I could nosh on the raw dough, I tried to restrain myself.
And the baked cookies? Well, I can't really answer for World Peace and Happiness, but I can answer for Domestic Peace and Happiness: The cookies proved true to their name. It's impossible to have a row with these fabulous gems in hand. Now if only Dorie could come up with a Peace and Quiet Cookie. We really could use those around here.
For my fellow penny pinchers, a half batch of 18 cookies will cost you about $2.00, if you use the mini chocolate chips. I wish I'd made a full batch, since these could be your slice and bake afternoon peaceful treat. Click here for the recipe.

Glad that goodwill and peace abounded! :) We had issues with the no eggs at our house...in that the dough was not off limits. It almost didn't make it into cookies. Yours look delicious! :)
ReplyDeleteThese look delicious. I am definitely going to have to make these, because poor little Pauly has been dying to get his hands on some cookie dough, and now I have the perfect solution! Your cookies look great! If you get a minute, maybe you could develop a "peace and quiet" cookie. You'd go down in history! Haha!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a nice touch that you can snack on the dough while some of it chills. Nice job on the cookies!
ReplyDeleteLoved these cookies.
ReplyDeleteYes, the only problem with these cookies is that they are so small that the "quiet" that comes when they are actually being eaten does not last long. They did help with bringing about domestic harmony during the hours they were in the house, though! We LOVE these cookies. Yours look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThese look great. But instead of peace these might cause chaos in my house. My kids will both be fighting for the last one:)
ReplyDeleteI love these cookies! They're one of my faves. Yours turned out just great! Well done!
ReplyDeleteI'm Lol over the "Peace and Quiet Cookies". If you ever find a recipe for those, let me know. ;)
Right now I think I'd be willing to pay quite a bit for a "Peace and Quiet" cookie! =) Your cookies look great.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...let's hope the Peace & Quiet cookie comes around while we can still enjoy it!! Great job, Prudy.
ReplyDeleteFull batch: yes, and double batch: even better. Then you can have a stash of logs in the freezer! We love these.

Haha, I always just add the dry ingredients, too. I froze my dough for about an hour instead of chilling. I wish I would've made a full batch, too, cuz I think these are my new faves!
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI made these two Christmases ago after seeing them on Smitten Kitchen. They were so yummy. Maybe I can make them for Valentine's Day???
